Hi all..

Jut another quick introduction (and another towards my 25 posts so I can sort a profile so I dont have to intoduce myself

))

I'm a wildlife cameraman and resercher based in Birimingham and Chester, I currently work on BBC Countryfile and we are always looking for fresh wildlife stories. I am also currently looking for great wildlife stories for the next series of BBC Springwatch, so if anybody has dancing Badgers or singing foxes I would love to hear all about them.

My background is in marine biology. I did a PhD on penguins and seals with the British Antarctic Survey and before that I worked on seals and seabirds for Aberdeen University.

I really wouldlove to hear all about your wildlife (especialy if its friendly). I would also love to hear from folk from Cheshire, North Wales, the West Midlands or Bristol as thats where I spend my time and I am looking for a few more local friends with local knowledge.
